Still waving...... And.... Still waving

You're a flag in the outfield?

I see you! I just wouldn't have guessed you were a 12-ish year old girl.

If you brought a white flag, we'll know you're a Twins fan!

You need to read more of his posts.........

Sano suspended and McCann gets nothing? That's not right. Oh well, lots of things in life aren't fair. 

 

My son's first penalty ever in Hockey was when he got crosschecked from behind into the back of the net. He was trying to stand up and get out of the net when he got crosschecked back into the net. 

 

My Son got a roughing and after Mom heard the announcement on the PA that it was a roughing penalty. He got a lecture from his Mom on playing nice during the car ride home.

Post of the night so far

WTF are we throwing to 2nd for on a double steal?

[Aggies7]

Boy it's gonna be awesome in the fall of 2019 when Phil Hughes is no longer on the roster

[Aggies7]

Be glad we didn't throw to first

[Joe A. Preusser]

Very nice pitch Phil.

[Blake]

I have to admit, that double steal was maddening and cool at the same time.

[Reider]

I'm not sure what's worse.. getting off to a terrible start to the season and never getting any traction like last year or getting off to a great start, then sputtering out. I'm not sure there's much difference in the long run.

 

I like the young core of this team. It'll be great to watch when they all get going.

[70charger]

Glad they worked out of that jam. Just need some runs.

[twinsnorth49]

Shockingly, that could have been worse.

As a former catcher I will just say that you're more likely to get the guy taking 2nd.

I know, doesn't make sense.

Or to the outfield.

[Twinsoholic]

The Twins just do not have the core of players in the batting order to string together enough consecutive great at bats to threaten other teams. It all makes for boring baseball. Too many short half innings when the Twins bat.

Perhaps you need to brush up on my favorite theorem

Yep. Need three hits in order to score. And sometimes more than that.

The guy on first is almost always waiting to make sure the guy from second broke.

This usually gives you enough time to catch him at 2nd.

According to Dick quoting Molitor 

 

"We are not going to just give Vargas 450 AB's. He has to earn them. 

 

I Agree 100%

 

Please let play him when he does... like he did last July and when you didn't.

I know I've just been waiting for ever to use a PT picture

[Twinsoholic]

Holy Cow! As Scooter would say. Back to back walks. Can the Twins get that elusive key hit here? Two would be nice.

[DrNeau]

What fine and suspension did Bert have over the weekend? What was that comment all about?

[BoofBonser]

Buxton drives one to right center here and ties the game up 2-2 with a triple

[Aggies7]

Can't believe ol Rosie expanded the zone there

[Riverbrian]

 

Perhaps you need to brush up on my favorite theorem

 

And then factor in that Andrus runs 120 MPH and Gallo runs 6 MPH and Hughes took 2 minutes and 25 seconds to deliver the ball to the plate and 2nd isn't a bad option. 

 

 

[bighat]

Buxton with a 3-1 count....Dozier on deck...c'mon boys!
